Jefferson Darwin and Locke Linked

To understand the present, we must first understand our history, through this same process we can come to understand Thomas Jefferson in contrast. Jefferson was responsible for laying the foundation for much of what we now know to be America, from the formation of the Constitution to his role in the formation of modern government. It is Jefferson’s foundation among great minds of their time, just as influential in their own rights, Charles Darwin …

…his verification and thought process however can no be ignored. Jefferson felt that he was doing just as Darwin had, using science to explain nature; he took that to explain humanity however inappropriately. His influence by Locke was great, but it was his drawing away from his thinking that made his idea so significant. Jefferson redefined ideas; it was that redefinition that gave his fundamental ideas the power to become a foundation themselves. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
